Scope of Proposed Work Extend existing router/switch RFCs and drafts to cover WLAN switches and meshes RFC 1242, RFC 2285, RFC 2544, RFC 2889, etc. Hash & stuffing draft Random MACs + wireless security = problems Extend for higher-layer functions of WLAN switches and meshes Add in wireless device specific requirements Include general WLAN switch data plane performance What does “throughput with zero loss” mean for wireless, which has error rates of 10-5 and retransmissions? Add WLAN-specific terminology/methodology Roaming and scalability (support of CAPWAP) Multi-hop mesh performance, recovery (support of MANET) |
